LOS ANGELES — After finishing a press conference, Robert Williams walks back toward Texas A&M's locker room. In terms of seeding, the Aggies are the third-ranked team out of four who have advanced here to the West Regional. And accordingly, their accommodations are a little tight. Williams peers at the pack of reporters and staffers obstructing his path back to his seat and starts shimmying his 6'10", 240-pound frame through them before stopping and crying out, "Everybody get up!"
The shout shocks the room momentarily, but then Williams bursts out laughing. Everyone should know by now that Williams is in no hurry.
